In this Washington hold up six unknown baudita, one of tbew over nix feet tall aud evidently an ri erieuced locomotive engineer, boarded the engiue of a Great Northern passeuger train at Col bert station, while the crew was busy with suuie sbiflinp, aud eo eriug the engineer and ti reman, or dered theni to do ae commanded.

Au effort was made to wreck them be fore they reached tbe passenger cars, where many were sound nslccn, but in vain. Tbe runaways crashed into the stauding train aud many were thrown irom ineir berths and seats, and were cut by broken glass and otherwise injured, none filially. One trainman was hurt.

Mindless Youth Tied (Hit to a Tree During the Day and Confined at Night. LralMh In-patr I A passenger on an Ashcvillc bound traiu Friday tells of arrange story of seeing a butuan being rop d lout like beast to a tree, tbe same being a boy 17 years of age who was born au idiot. Miking imi-ji-ru-s tbe man learned a few facta which are given Mow. The scene of tbe story as totd is in tbe heart of tbe Blue Bidge couutry, uear Bound Knob, in Mc Dowell couuty, seveu mile from Old Fort aud LM miles eaut of Ashe ville. Ou the right of the road going up, the cabin of the boy's family stands in plain view of the cars. Around It are a few tilled acres. Mountains tower on all sides. Near tbe cabin are some fruit tree, and beneath one of them the hoy has been tied during the day with a rope around his waist, for otany years. People passing up and down the road, knowing of the rase. Lave seen the unfortunate stauding or sitting at his tree day in aud day out w hen the weather at all comfortable. One uiau says he has seeu him there wheu the air was rather fresh. At night the youth la con fined iu one end of the little mountain cab in, which, rudely barricaded, is dismal looking enough. Tue boy is without a ray of intelligence ami cannot speak understaudably. He cau feed himself, but eats with his hands, all efforts to to.irh him the use of a kuife aud fork being fruit less. There ure conflicting reports s to tbe sort of treatment he gets some saying he is handled kindly, others saying he is not. At any rate the man who gathered liilor mat ion thinks that the family is hardly iu position to give the mi fortunale being (bo attention that he should have. It Is learned that the mother of the boy refuses to part with him. tour years ago she is said to have carried him to Morgauton to place hiiu in the hospital but as the In stitution is for insane people only, the idiot was denied admission. Beceutly the neighbors say that some stranger, apparently an offi cial, investigated I he case and wrote the sheriff of McDowell to take charge of the boy. The mother, whose uame is Barllet, however, is said to have told the sheriff she would part with the hoy under no circumstances.

Respectfully, W. S. BIJMCE1NEY, President, TAFT IN THE DIIFFN flTY ,.., f ! Welcomed rcyally asthe head of a milled u.ition with all Ike honor, j which a patriotic ami putdic spirit - ,ed triple could bc-tow. and re - 'spondiug in a kiudred spirit which (iupired bun to pledge his power j to toe obliteration of ail sectional j differences, thellou. William Ho' - ard Taft. President of the I'nited l.statesof America, was for twelve ' hours yeslcrdi.y the welcome guest tot nai lolte anu ol ortUt sroima. 1 1 uiminaieu men ine i-eu oianou o nonor l the jiirKienoui IH-Ciara-tion of IuleH-udeiice with which all the drenching power of a (iu'f coast rain storm could but p trtial ly interfere. Never in the history of the city of Charlotte has there previously occurred such a day marked by such a contest between the poweis of men aud those of na ture, a contest w hich had a drawn battle as it final issue, with the honors, all things considered, well earned by the plucky celebrants. Dcgi'jiung hours before dawn, the rain which wits predicted set in with unrelenting violence, con tinued until a few minutes before the arrival of the President's train at 10 o'clock, ceased fur more than two entire hours, ouly to descend again a veritable cloudburst just as the rear of the mammoth parade had rescin d Independence Square, two blocks from the stand where stood America's Chief Executive in review. Its interference with the occasion on which it hud in such unwelcome fashion intruded, forced the change of the place foi the Presidential address from the open air reviewing stand to I tie Aiiilitonuiu and the calling off of the military dulls and the base ball game iu the uftt-riioou. I nitlPslionalily it deterred ua- told thousands from leaving their homes iu other towns, und yet siie cial after special rolled iu in early morning crowded from front to rear with visitors w ho knew that what ever Happened I liarlotte would make good. And she did, so far as lay iu human power, in the face of a twelve hours' rainfall three times the amount of that for the month's preceding 111 days. Declaring it the fixed purpose ol his adiniuistratiou to doeverything which circumstances empower him to do ro remove tho last vestige of sectional feeling remuiuing as an after effect of the war between the States and, as a means to that end, announcing it to be bis policy in selecting men for important posi tions to make his dccisiotsi largeh ou the basis of the respect and hon or in which they are held by their home people with whom they are to serve, President Taft wou the enthusiastic cheers of 5,000 people who tilled the Auditorium, at the intersection of College and I iflh streets, in the afternoon. Interest ing reference was made to the ap pointment of Judge Connor to the rcdcral bench. "The Federal judiciary to u.y mind," said the President, "is the strongest bulwark we have in all this country to protect our institu tions of civil lils-rty. And there is no greater duty resting upon the Chief Kxecutive of this nation than that of the appointment of a man to that position who will strength en it to nil the people at huge. The Federal judiciary should lie as much appreciated in the Mouth as in the North mid if I have au op portunity to make any further ap pointments in the South it will con tinue to be uiy duty to make such appointments us will appeal to all I ho people, whether they aro He publicans or Democrats, and I ask all citizens, whether they be Ke publicans or Democrats, to accept the appointments as men, if they are men, who will carry on their high duties with an eye to the ad ministration of justice, to accept them and congratulate the people on the appointment and not make use of them for any political or partisan argument or partisan ap peal." These were perhaps the most sig nilicaut nllcrances of his speech of more than an hour, so far as the South and tho country at large is interested. Entirely satisfactory to the most exacting defenders of the validity of the Declaration were Mr. Tad's references to that famous document. "There is a controversy," he said, "as to what were the exact words used in that IVclaratinu." Not a word was uttered expressive of doubt as to the fact that Meek lenburg did declare hr independ enee, though be did uot attach nearly so much importance to the mere fact of the declarations made as to the provisions made for a uew government. "My friends," said he, "these general declarations, unaccompa nied by some general sense of tbe responsibility of self government, are worth little or nothing. It is the men who go forward, knowing what they are doing, when they are cutting off their relations to one government and understand that the ouly Justification for so doing is the practical preparation of a new government. That is what makra Anglo Saxon liberty. That is what has distinguished our race for a thousand years the fact that we dealt with what was practical snd not with what was poetical, and oratorical and rhetorical." MR HOW AlDklCtl Bl'YS THEM. hind Out the Things Democratic Senators Want Protected and Fixes Them Accordingly. ; m J. - I - . .

The other Seimtor, let us say. ali f ir j iilustrsttioii, w:l a new Senator, Senator Baker from Peunsvlvai.i.. I ".h, this is haj'.pv iiiitHing," j exclaimed Senat.ir liker most m i avclv. "Sciiutt or Adami, I Miee. I r Di'.er." The two' I am Senator Senators shook hands, said it was a pleasant day. that il wasls-Uer than they bad lten hating iu tbe way oi weuiner, ai.l tiiui spring had come. "Which way are yougoiug, Sen atoi!-' asked Baker. "I am going to my hotel," re plied Senator Adam. "An, and where do you live, Soiutoi!" "At the Montreal," replied Sen ator Adams. "I am just going up that way. Senator," said Senator liaker, "and it would give me the greatest pos siblo pleasure if you would let tn take you up in my uutotiinliile." The two men got into the mag nificent car, the chauffeur turnul the crank and the steam devil, the pet aliouiin.it ion of Senator Bailey of Texas, Kd up the "Avenue." Senator Adams was astounded in a lew- miuules to liud that Scnatoi Baker, a rock-iiblsd llcpiihlicaii front a rock ribbed liepulilican State, was abusing A Id rich and this iniquitous tariff' bill more bitterly and vigorously than he had heard anybody else since the session met. All the way to the hotel he tore the tariff bill into tatters, taking up all the principal schedules, und iibus ing Aldrich in such terms that Sen ator Adams thought that surely the U. O. P. was on tho verge of com plete destruction because of dissen sions in tho parly, liv ery now and then he would stop and ask Sena tor Adams' opinion uboiit this or alsiut that. And Senator Adams joined in with him heartily. But w hat do you suppose! That IN'piihlicuu Senator was woefully disappointed. Aldrich scut him to the new Democratic Senator for the purpose of finding out what par ticular article of production the new IVmocratie Seuator wanted a protective tariff on. tAiii! il so hap pened that Aldrich's messenger found one out of alsmt half a dozen Democratic Senators who was firm ly mid irrevocably ingrained iu the fundamental principle of special privileges to none, and he was com pelled to report that it would be wasting time to make further ef forts to "buy" Senator Adams, Mr. Aldrich is going to put through this tariff bill. Don't you have any delusions ulmut his abili ty, either. He is not boss by any accident. He has messengers like Senator Baker to go to each and every one of the Senators, especi ally tbe new ones, to Imd out their price. The price of one is to pro tect lumls"r; of another to protect sugar; sea island cotton is what another wants; lead, gypsum, rot ton goods, and so ou are other things iu oilier Democratic Sena tor's minds. Aldrich wants to know. His plan is to go to them, each one, in person, and tell him that he w ill put into the bill just whatever protection is wanted. He dis s not ask for anything in return. Ho knows human nature aud es pccially a weak Seuator's nature, a weak aud hungry cue, I might say, enough to kuow that with the particular thing of interest iu the weak and hungry Senator's Stati on the protected list, that Senator is not going to throw any great ol) st ructions iu the way of passing the bill. Senator Taylor's Story. Jinn S. Kv.nt to New Vurk Atiicrli-.n. ' "We have lazy uienevery where, said Senator liobert L. Taylor of Tennessee. "But down near Cnioii City, where the Night Hidcrs have been frightening everybody from the Governor dow n, there is a man named I. m Knight, who, for iiulo lence, has no H er. "Lou is a hermit. His only cam nanion is a dog. He lives in a small cabin, one that contains no windows, apertures or exits except the door. Wheu it is raining he sleeps; when the weather is fair he either fishes or hunts. "He provides a mat for the dog to sleep on ai.d this is place I at the entrance to the one lone room. When Lou wakes up, the room be ing dark, he cannot tell whether it is raining or if tbe atmosphere is dry. So be calm iu the dog, and. reaching over feels of its back. If wet or moist he goes back to sleep, if dry ho gets up. "And 1 think I may compare Lou Knight's habits to those of some of the Senators in charge of this tariff bill," coutiuued tbe Sen tor. "They are feeling of the backs of too many dogs to ascer taiu how the weather is. Voder standi" If yoo want to feel well, look well and be well, taka Foley' kiduey Kern edy.

Henry II. Bogeis was born in Fair Haven, Ma-.., in 1I0. There is considerable mystery us lo the exact date of his birth, Bogen nevcr would tell it. He would uot even tell in what j ear he was horn. Once when he was asked, he said: "Why don't you go to the town clerk at Fair II ivci.!" This was done but the tiii:'st wa useles, for it was found that a tire destroyed the register that told ol his birth. The parents of Bogeis wen- working people and did nut have much money.

My father and I ngiecd that 1 should take up the trade of liiachin ist, but their was no chance. Ap preuticeships were limited even at that time as they air now.
